I happened to catch a jaw-dropping incident on the Fox News Channel air yesterday, as Shepard Smith&#x92;s breaking news coverage of the Baton Rouge police ambush brought on Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal for telephone comments. In the course of attempting to heal the raw nerves, Gov. Jindal said &#x93;all lives matter&#x94; and was rebuked by the crew-cut newsman. Kristinn Taylor of Gateway Pundit captured the exchange:AmericanThinkerhttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3450657/posts#commentTue, 19 Jul 2016 01:58:12 GMTAmerica&#x92;s Insurance Policyhttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3450406/posts

State officials in Louisiana tried to deceive citizens last week by approving what amounts to, essentially, a glorified name change for the deeply unpopular Common Core education standards pushed by the Obama administration. Basically, policymakers re-branded the scheme as &#x93;Louisiana Standards,&#x94; while pretending that there had been some &#x93;revisions&#x94; to the widely loathed education-nationalization effort.

With support from Mayor Mitch Landrieu, a majority on the City Council appears ready to take down four monuments, including a towering statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
